California’s Title 24 is part of the California Code of Regulations (CCR) consisting of 28 sections and released by the Department of the State Architect (DSA). Title 24 covers the California Building Standards code. Signage regulationsare located in multiple areas, but mainly in 1117B.5 Signs and identifi cation. Additional areas of note include but are not limited to 1011.3 for tactile exit signage and 1022.8 for tactile fl oor identifi cation signs in stairways. Themost recent addition of the code was in 2010 and became effective January 1, 2011. Title 24 matches many of the national standards while providing unique requirements. Designers working in California must match Title 24requirements as long as they are not in confl ict with the Standard for Accessible Design(SAD). On July 19, 2012 the DSA released advisories related to code confl icts that will become effective on August 1, 2012. Because Title 24 hashad stringent requirements for some time there are very few conflicts.
